Financial modelling for social enterprise
This programme is valuable for social enterprises of all shapes and sizes, and during all stages of the start-up cycle. It is aimed towards a broad audience including aspiring social entrepreneurs, non-profits who are seeking to to create market-based projects, investors evaluating new businesses, and corporate entrepreneurs who would like to launch ventures aimed at the bottom of the pyramid market. By the end of this course, students will understand how to build a basic financial model from the ground up, starting from a single business unit – a stand-alone profit-center – scaling up. This course allows you to be able to apply this approach to ensure that your product or service can be realistically commercialised, and that the business model is built for scalability from the outset.
